Tax Compliance in Italy
Understanding and fulfilling fiscal obligations is crucial for businesses operating in Italy. To ensure compliance with tax regulations, we recommend consulting a legal expert and the local tax authority, Agenzia delle Entrate.
Individuals engaging in the following activities in Italy must obtain a VAT number for legal purposes:
- Commercial or agricultural activities
- Artistic or professional activities conducted regularly
Registration involves acquiring a VAT number, an 11digit code that must be indicated on all invoices and commercial documents issued or received during business operations. For more details on requirements, exemptions, and tax rates, visit the VAT Registration page.
If your business needs to apply a different VAT rate than the standard one, you can opt for a Tax Override and Exemption.
